About this audiobook
The Madden sisters struggle to maintain a veneer of respectability while facing the grim economic reality of being unmarried in a shifting London. Amidst the hollow celebrations of the Queen's Jubilee, their lives intersect with the cynical politics of the marriage market. This satire captures the friction between tradition and the emerging "New Woman."
